I was observing the eaglet in the nest in the Cuyahoga Valley NP Sunday
evening.  One of the adults was in the nest feeding the young for quite a
while.  I noticed that the eaglet appeared to close in size if not slightly
larger than the adult.  Does anyone know the sex of the eaglet?  I am
guessing it is a female judging from the size?  I am assuming that the adult
was the male?  Is this a vaid assumption?

I did get a really good look, I was using a spotting scope with an 85mm
objective lens.

Thanks,
